"Such an insult (referring to the Tientsin Campaign) can only be repaid in American blood. Mark my words, this will happen." - Colonel Ganbaatar

The Union of Progressive Peoples are the rivals of the United Americas in many aspects. They're highly trained socialist soldiers, ready to fight for the UPP. And their goal is to eliminate anyone who are against the UPP.

Backstory

The Union of Progressive Peoples is a powerful, socialist nation act as a rival nation of the UA in the eastern sphere, they're large in numbers and active over their frontier before the Tientsin (Eta Boötis A III) campaign. However, as years go by, so do the spark of rivalry of the UA and UPP as well. Though the UPP never engaged in wars against the UA or USCM, hostiles broke out between an USCM Task Force and a UPP Expeditionary Force during the Tientsin Campaign in mid 2165. It later ended in ceasefire. However, many enraged officials and commanders view this firefight as an attempt for the USCM to take over the UPP territory. 3 years after the Tientsin Campaign, Colonel Ganbaatar, a Commander of the UPP forces stated (in the above quote) that if the USCM takes over their territory, they will wage war against them. And from this point on, the UPP declared the UA and USCM as enemies against eachother. Sparking hatred between them and the UA.

Years after the campaign, in 2186, for the past 14 months, the battalion known as the Smoldering Sons have been stationed at MV-35's only facility, the helium refinery, Altai Station. As MV-35 and Altai Station are the only UPP-held zones in the Tychon's Rift sector for many light years, they have spent the most of their military career holed up in crammed quarters in near darkness, waiting for supply shipments and transport escort deployments.

With the recent arrival of the enemy United States Colonial Marines battalion the 'Falling Falcons' and their flagship, the USS Almayer, the UPP has felt threatened in the sector. In an effort to protect the vulnerable MV-35 from the encroaching United Americas/USCM imperialists, the leadership of your battalion has opted this the best opportunity to strike the falling Falcons to catch them off guard.

Standing Orders

Your squad has been dispatched to take control of the USS Almayer by breaching in to their Command Information Center and eliminating all personnel on board the ship. In addition to such you may call for reinforcements from their communications console when you have secured the CIC.

Glory to the UPP. And good luck.
